For other minibar lovers who found this thread: just change to
"editor.minimap.enabled": true
in bundle.js and index.js.
Too little for a pull request.

just change to
"editor.minimap.enabled": true
in bundle.js and index.js.

The minimap is disabled by default. One can use more convenient ways to enable the minimap:

1. Command Palette:

• Ctrl/⌘+Shift+P,
• type View: Toggle Mininap, and
• press Enter.

2. Use Advanced settings UI:

• Ctrl/⌘+Shift+P,
• type Preferences: Open Settings (UI),
• type minimap in the search field, and
• click the checkbox to have the minimap in IDE2.

3. Configure the advanced settings in the settings.json:

• Ctrl/⌘+Shift+P,
• type Preferences: Open Settings (JSON), and
• add the "editor.minimap.enabled": true,
• save the sketch if auto-save is not enabled.

{
  // other settings
  "editor.minimap.enabled": true`
  // maybe more settings
}

The minimap can be enabled from the primary UI without modifying any files inside the application. I am closing it as won't do.

If you disagree, please ping me, and we can discuss it.
If you maintainer, reopen the ticket.

Thanks!
